BLUE REEF
AQUARIUM
Enjoy
close
encounters
with hundreds of incredible
creatures from around the
world at Blue Reef Aquarium.
Come face to face with
everything from adorable
seals and otters to sharks,
seahorses
and
graceful
stingrays. Meet the monkeys
and reptiles in the centre’s
stunning Amazonian feature
and admire the adorable
California sea lions at Seal
Cove. A full programme
of entertaining talks and
feeding displays takes place
throughout the day. From
cownose rays to clownfish,
there’s a lot to marvel at. Many
of the exhibits at Blue Reef
Aquarium focus on a particular
geographical setting, with
zones forming a simulacrum
of a real ecosystem. The
centre doesn’t just provide
a snapshot of the aquatic
world either – it also helps to
safeguard and preserve it.
From coral reef conservation
to caring for seal pups, Blue
Reef Aquarium is active
in sustaining endangered
species and habitats. As you
tour the various exhibits, you’ll
further your understanding
of the natural world and gain
a greater appreciation of the
wondrous creatures that swim
in our seas.
